Washed Away

Dark clouds are rolling in, the thunder breaks over the mountain And the rain it starts to pour, and I can see the river rising It's about to overflow, the water is to my door now And I don't even know, if I can escape for the hills Escape for the hills You can wash away my home, I'll rebuild it I don't need it You can wash away my time, I'll probably just repeat it You can wash away these tears, I've got all that I need here You can wash away the ground, but oh you can't wash away the sound Can't wash away the sound. Well the rain is pouring down, and we're all safe on the hill Looking down on the place, where comfort we all used to feel And six feet under water, everything has been washed away It's feeling like a dream, and maybe I'll wake up someday I'll wake up someday You can wash away my home, I'll rebuild it I don't need it You can wash away my time, I'll probably just repeat it You can wash away these tears, I've got all that I need here You can wash away the ground, but oh you can't wash away the sound Can't wash away the sound. The rain has finally stopped, and we all start to see the blue sky The sun is shining down, on what used to be our old lives And I can't seem to find the words to explain the feeling What my heart needs now, is some of that loving healing Oh that loving healing You can wash away my home, I'll rebuild it I don't need it You can wash away my time, I'll probably just repeat it You can wash away these tears, I've got all that I need here You can wash away the ground, but oh you can't wash away the sound Can't wash away the sound. I see my old banjo, it's floating on down the drift Well you know I pulled it out, and then I started to pick I played the old time songs, the only ones I've ever really known I sang about my home, of old Colorado Well oh Colorado You can wash away my home, I'll rebuild it I don't need it You can wash away my time, I'll probably just repeat it You can wash away these tears, I've got all that I need here You can wash away the ground, but oh you can't wash away the sound Can't wash away the sound
